The point still stands that an omnissian axe is not that crazy for a techpriest to start with compared to what other classes get at creation.

Edit: I think we've argued this point to death though. People can draw their own conclusions about what best fits their game.

Edit: If you're going to compare it to giving a guardsman a stormbolter then if you're using the OW rules a starting weapon specialist if they did custom regiment creation can start with litterally any basic or heavy weapon they want despite rarity. This includes the stormbolter.

Not true, actually. The cap for such things is Very Rare; so he could have a Bolter (and the Heavy Gunner could have a Heavy Bolter) but not a Storm Bolter.

@Bluntpencil: I'll just admit to not liking people starting off with Power weapons. You're right about the Shock Maul thing (for which I apologize) but the Omnissiah Axe just needles me. "He's not going to hit anything with it" confuses me; quite a few melee talents have the Strength aptitude as one of the two assosciated. I'll leave it up to you.

For the Guardsman, Weapon Training (Heavy) is the current talent. Heavy Weapon Training no longer exists. Good call on maybe not giving him a heavy stubber, though. That could be a problem with all of those handy BS bonuses.

I've made the Omnissian Axe optional. It's a decent choice, but won't be hugely powerful. It's powerful, but, I think equipment should be a Techy's strong point. They should have the best gear: It's their job.

Regarding the Guardsman; I think I might replace the bonus stats. The +5WS will stack too well with Melee drill, as will +5 BS with Rifle Drill. I think +3 WS and +3 BS would be better than +5 to either.

Re: The Arbitrator and Jaded. I decided not to give it for 'tough cases' etc, since any of the careers could feasibly have seen horrific things. It's only a Tier 1 talent, so you can buy it with starting XP to reflect a harsh start.

So just to be clear, there are no conversion rules in the Only War rule book for Deathwatch?

That is correct.

DW is about being more than a man, forsaking what makes you human to defend them. (Alternatively: Being a badass space marine).

OW is about being one little person in an inhuman organisation that cares little for the fate of a single soldier fighting enemies much larger, tougher and probably more numerous than yourself.

Edit: As Plushy (and probably some others) have mentioned you can probably find home made conversion rules somewhere. The apptitude system seems rather flexible so it shouldn't be impossible to do DW in OW.

Check the forum you're on right now. I just put up my conversion work for Dark Heresy in a state I'm quite happy with.

I've converted Dark Heresy to the Only War system. Please take a look!

This thread isn't marking as read in my browser. Seeing if posting again will fix it.

Not yet! They (along with some Ascension classes) are next on the agenda, along with maybe a few heretical options.
